The publisher sets the price. BooksOnBoard has it for the very same $19.96 in all the other various formats they sell. Plus remember that unless you spend at least $25 at Amazon, you pay SHIPPING at about $3.50 for ground. So that makes the ebook and the hardcover from Amazon about the same price. Plus you have to wait for Amazon to send it to you whereas the ebook you can download right away and start reading when you want.
